"It makes me wonder what Skynet plans to do with itself once it kills off all humans. What's it going to do after, twiddle its bits for an eternity?"

I think it wasn't quite as bad in the plot department as the Star Trek movie...
I mean, it was internally consistent:
Don't mind me, I'm just the hot chick snuggling up to your chest for 'some warmth'. Mmmmm, thats a nice strong heart.
Hey look, the Xrays show the captured terminator has a real heart.
I can see your heart beating from over here its so big & strong, a perfect target unless you promise to let me into Skynet.
<Weakness detected> [target big strong heart for takedown] so I can killinate John. Connor.
Argh, I'm gonna get mashed, eek... Oooh, the KO'd terminator guy has a real, big & strong heart, maybe if I jumpstart it he can save me from the Arnienator.
John Conner got stabbed in the heart by Arnienator & its not strong enough to cope! He's going to die unless we can find a replacement heart. Oh Noes, where will we find a nice strong heart !!!!

Earth, Fire, Wind, Water.....Heart!
Why? The blood type would be the same as the terminator guy's original blood type before he was, uh, terminatorized (hey that passed spellcheck!). It was his original heart after all (I think?).
Yeah, I found this one of the dumbest, and corniest threads in the film. Its stupid to think that he would need that in the first place.
As far as the many cosmic coincidences in the plot go, the blood type might be the easiest one to swallow.
If Wright was O negative that part wouldn't be a problem.

The tissue match for a transplant would be waaaaayyyyy less likely.
It wasn't explained how much of Wright was his original body.
I suppose the human part of the brain was most likely original, but perhaps the rest was artificial tissue.
For the sake of manufacturability, we could claim that Skynet settled on some kind of generic tissue that would be so plain vanilla that they wouldn't be rejected, in order to better mix and match things for creating future terminators.
There was mention that the tissue they tested was mostly human, but was regenerating at an unnatural pace, so it wasn't all natural.

Maybe not a plot hole, but corny as hell!
